More Description
This volume gathers together chapters by key contributors to the "representative turn," organizing them into sections that exemplify the main approaches to re-conceptualizing democratic representation (deliberative, constructivist and analytical) and the principal theoretical and political implications following from them. Each contributor is invited to look back and ahead on the transformations to democratic theory operated by it and on the new paths it is opening up for collective agency. What does the turn amount to? Where is the turn going? Essential reading for scholars and graduate researchers committed to staying on top of new developments in the field.
